Six people have written about John J. Sambogna's work, and two of them hired him twice — a 2016 reviewer re-hired him for a bathroom after he renovated their kitchen in early 2015, and a 2018 reviewer welcomed him back for a bathroom four years after a kitchen. For a business the Better Business Bureau lists at two employees, that kind of return work is the thing worth noticing. He works out of Harwich, is listed at a West Yarmouth address, and runs the company himself: the site is written in the first person and says he has been at this since 2005, while his BBB page puts the start at 2006 and grades it A+, though he is not accredited there. Much of what he takes on is winter work — interior renovations, kitchens and baths, finished basements and decks, often scheduled for vacation homes while the owners are off Cape for the season. The written reviews are dated but specific: six five-star accounts on Houzz running July 2015 to October 2018. A 2015 client having a kitchen built in a summer home described walls knocked down to new wallboard and cabinets, with new flooring, ceiling, electrical and plumbing going in under his oversight; another that same summer had a kitchen opened up into the living room, with a mantel built to go with it. Houzz also shows 20 posted projects and a 5.0 average across those six ratings. Two things to pin down before booking. His own site and his Houzz profile both list construction supervisor CS 102290 and home improvement contractor registration HIC 173772, and the site adds a Massachusetts Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor license, LR001417 — those are his listing and the directory's, not registry confirmations, so ask to see the current cards. And since the newest written account is October 2018, ask him for references from the past year or two. He fits a mid-Cape kitchen or bath remodel with real scope behind it — walls moved, several trades coordinated — and especially a second home that can be handed over for the off-season. Confirm the licenses with the state, get those recent references, and you will know what you are hiring.
“JOHN J SAMBOGNA”
We enthusiastically welcomed John back to manage our bathroom remodel after he completed our kitchen remodel four years prior. He worked diligently with us from start to finish and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful bathroom. John offered professional advice and ideas every step of the way. He mocked up prototypes, researched layout options, and joined us on a trip to the local lumber yard to help guide us through designing our custom board and batten wainscoting. His attention to detail was instrumental in turning our ideas to fruition. John is honest, easy to work with, and is exceptional at his craft. He’s also immaculate and ensures his work area is organized and cleaned at the close of each day. Communication is an integral part of John’s work ethic. He is responsive and truly cares about the vision of his clients. John successfully collaborates with others and it shows. The electrical, plumbing, tile and floor contractors he works with were all extremely professional, polite and respectful. We are delighted with our new bathroom and highly recommend John Sambogna. His top quality work will exceed all your expectations.
I am very pleased to recommend John Sambogna. In early 2015, he completed a major renovation of my kitchen. He transformed the space into a beautiful, bright spot, exceeding my expectations. I re-hired John recently to renovate a bathroom. Despite the limited space and the challenges it posed, John kept at it. The outcome was exceptional. John is a true partner in the project. His suggestions are thoughtful and very much help you make good decisions. The attention to detail and quality are just terrific. He is always professional and upfront about the scope, pricing and time of the project. And, he is super neat and clean when working in your home. In the world of sometimes challenging Cape Cod contractors, he is a real find.
I couldn't be happier with my newly remodeled bathroom. It was a pleasure to work with John throughout the whole process, from inception to completion of the project. From having a few ideas to meeting with John and with his recommendations, i now have a beautiful, completely renovated bathroom. John's trustworthy, honest, dependable and i'm looking forward to working with him on my next project. I highly recommend John to all.
We could not be happier with the remodel of our kitchen and living room! We sincerely appreciated John's professional advice as we went through the process of deciding the best way to achieve the results we sought. He crafted a beautiful kitchen with an expanded opening to the living room and built us a gorgeous mantel. We would happily recommend John to anyone seeking a skilled craftsman who pays careful attention to detail while respecting the homeowners' wishes and property.
John helped design and build my new kitchen in my summer home. He was professional and well educated in the field of home renovations. My walls were knocked down and replaced with new wallboard and cabinets. New flooring, ceiling, electrical and plumbing were performed and overseen by John. All subcontractors were capable of doing a wonderful job. John saw my vision and created my fabulous kitchen/living area. He also sent us video updates weekly of his progress seeing that we were off cape during the construction. I found John to be very easy and pleasing to work with. I would recommend him to any one looking for a responsible contractor. Paula Emelock 15 Cordick Road South Yarmouth, MA
